it's the top of the hour, i'm martin savidge in for fredericka whitfield. police are now saying that three of the seven victims in brookfield, wisconsin have died. the police are saying that the shooter was 25-year-old radcliffe houghton. police just watched up this news conference and said i believe they had come across an ied in the shooting and quite

remarkable on top of the tragedy, what do we know about that? >> there is a bomb squad at the scene, as you indicated, marilyn, they don't know the circumstances, or if they do they're not revealing much information about this. after the shooting occurred and when the team went in, they found what is being called an improvised explosive device. that's what they're working to clear in one portion of the salon. here's what was said a moment ago. >> i can also tell you that in the process of clearing that building, we have identified as who's being described as an improvised explosive device. >> what we can tell you is that they're now trying to diffuse that, remove it, so they can totally clear the scene. but let's recap what happened here, martin. right now we're taking a look at the suspect's house, he has been identified by police as

45-year-old radcliffe houghton. he lives in a subdivision called brown deer. they're executing or search warrant or preparing to do so, but police officers have been there for quite some time. they have not yet found the suspect at this time, they are looking for any help they can get from the public, however they have found his car, described as a black mazda protoge. they said this happened about 11:00 local time. that would be about noon eastern, at the azana hair salon. according to that salon's website they open about that time in the morning. what has been described to me by

a spokesperson is that a man walked into the salon, some employees said something like, they noticed that he had a handgun and said if you're going to rob the place rob the place or words to that effect. and at that point, according to a federal law enforcement official that's when this mangan firing allegedly shot inside. we know that at least seven people were hit, you heard them indicate very tragically, that three people are now confirmed dead, four people injured and are now being treated at a local hospital. now the search is on for the suspect. the law enforcement official also indicated that they are looking at the possibility that this involved a domestic problem of some kind. martin? >> very tragic. >> susan candiotti, we'll continue to follow it with your help. now to a new tragedy, new details today in that inglewood, colorado shooting, the shooting suspect is now dead after

setting fire to his home. desmond john moses is accused of gunning down his next door neighbor and his family. the father who tried to shield his kids from the bullets is dead and so is his 4-year-old son. the man's wife and three children are in critical condition today. foreign policy, it is the main focus of tomorrow night's third and final presidential debate. president obama, former massachusetts governor mitt romney, they will take to the stage and i'll show you a live picture now. lindh university at boca raton, florida, that's where it will take place. this format will be unlike any presidential debate so far this year. what is the format and how

important is this, sort of final debate as they try to get the last votes and the last words? >> reporter: martin, we have been saying this week after week, this is the most important night of the election season and this is going to be the most important night of the election season, tomorrow night's debate. it's going to take place right behind me at lindh university in boca raton. mitt romney is surging, barack obama trying to stem a little bit of the political bleeding right now. the format calls for talk about foreign policy. they're going to talk about the changing face of the middle east specifically in regards to terrorism and they're going to talk about china. they're going to be seated at a table, perhaps that might swell a little bit of the fire works. the fact of the matter is, while they will be focusing on foreign policy, the economy will take

center stage in terms of how it's affecting people in the united states and how it's affecting people globally. >> do we know where the candidates are right now? >> reporter: well we do, we know mitt romney is here in boca raton. he flipped a coin for a football match between the traveling press corps and some of his aides. we do know that president obama is up in camp david doing his own debate prep. he will be here tomorrow. so they have been focusing all this weekend, all they can on this debate. because martin, as we certainly know, turning in a strong performance can certainly change some minds and right now things are so, so close. >> and let's talk about new polls that have come out, tell us about it. >> reporter: just a few hours ago, we saw this from the nbc/"wall street journal," they put out a national poll and it shows the race is tied, straight

up right now 47%/47%, that is nationally. we are focusing on nine battleground states here at cnn and we have seen that the polls in those states are getting a lot closer. but when it comes back to this national poll, look at these numbers right here, when it comes to men right now, mitt romney has a 10-point advantage with men. and when it comes to women, president obama has an eight-point advantage. i'm sure the people in chicago at campaign headquarters for barack obama want to see that advantage increase. that is a key constituency that he's going to need if he's going to win a second term. >> thanks very much, we'll continue to follow this. in the meantime if you want to watch this debate between mitt romney and president obama, you can watch that live right here on cnn we begin with your coverage at 7:00 p.m. eastern time. republican vice presidential

candidate paul ryan in iowa "toda today with 15 days before the election. ryan rarely campaigns on sunday, but today he took center stage saying the romney-ryan ticket contains -- how do the candidates differ on hot spots like libya and iran? we'll dig deeper on that just ahead. and then, how do you get more people to turn out to vote? in one california town, promising pre-pot apparently worked. and then caught on camera, robbers walking into a museum to steal paintings like monet and picasso. how do they track them down? we'll talk with a man who's an expert next.

we're keeping an eye on international and national stories. fidel castro is, quote, doing very well. that according to venezuela's former vice president. he points to this photo which he says was taken yesterday as proof that the cuban leader is not bedridden. moving on to beirut, chaos in the street, he was a critic of the syrian regime. and then finally, muslims around the world pray for peace as they arrive in mecca, ahead of next week's haj. one of the five pillars of

muslim, followers are obligated to make that journey to mecca at least once in their lifetime. it will be a big political showdown in florida tomorrow night, president obama, mitt romney will face off in their third, and the last one, the final debate. the sole focus in that debate will be foreign policy and national security. there's a lot of topics that we're talking about here. what i want to talk, though, is about libya and specifically the attack on the consulate there in ben gghaz benghazi. usually we talk about international affairs in debates like this, but this is an area that he could be caught and mitt romney may win some points, right? >> if you look at the polls, it seems that president obama has a slight edge when it comes to foreign policy. so some analysts say this is an

opportunity for mitt romney to come after him for the way they handled the after math of this attack t shifting explanations that it was simply a reaction to a video and he could go after the perceived strength of president obama on national security policy, based on getting osama bin laden killed. by going after him and saying this is a lack of leadership, he did not provide security for this ambassador, you tried to shift your positions to try to match the narrative. because of the way it suits you in this election campaign. so basically, it is an opening for romney to try to come after him and close that gap. >> yeah, because we all know that foreign affairs, very important, and many americans follow it so closely and we're going to see who looks more

presidential. and on this, i want to talk about the president of iran, we know that is a subject on which the united states is deeply committed an focused. you've got mitt romney who's very outspoken. who do you think has the upper hand in that particular debate? >> they want to prevent iran from obtaining a nuclear weapon. what point do they draw the linesome and for president obama, it's preventing iran from acquiring a nuclear weapon. while mitt romney is drawing the line atingi ining iran from being the capacity to produce a fluke clear weapon. mitt romney should not be allowed even the capacity to

develop that weapon. so they're very close, but in one sense we have also heard mitt romney go after president obama for his strange relations with his prime minister that there should be no daylight with israel and this is where he could go after him. again, for leadership. >> and an important point, specifically we start talking about a swing state like florida, because of a significant jewish population, they could be impacted because of howard -- i have to ask you about syria. it's bound to come up in this debate. president obama is going to say that we have to stay back, americans don't have an appetite for another war, yet we're seeing the influence of al qaeda and we're also seeing the images every night of the terrible killing that goes on. >> what we have seen here is

president obama. >> they do not know who the rebels are. and they are afraid that it could backfire as it has happened with previous wars in afghanistan when weapons that have been provided to rebels to the united states. we're allowing allies in the region to provide weapons but we are not going to go there. while mitt romney is saying he would be willing to work with the rebels and share our values. so he's willing to take a more muscular approach. and that's where we're seeing a difference between the two candidates. on each one of these issues, we see romney taking a more muscular approach, a stronger leadership role and a possibility that he could go it alone, compared to president obama. you have seen him trying to work with allies to build coalitions

and to try to lead as he -- some of his advisors have said from behind, this phrase is coming back to haunt him as in libya, which could have been interpreted as a success story deposing a dictator there, without the loss of american lives or sending u.s. troops there. but because of what we have seen happen in beirut, this is not a possibility for them. >> and it will be very interesting to see how all this plays out because events are breaking even now as we talked about in lebanon and these are going to impact the discussion that takes place tomorrow night. >> absolutely, it's another opportunity for mitt romney to say, lack of leadership, i'm looking at all these issues and this is what comes, it always -- i see mitt romney hitting president obama on leadership and we have seen that the middle east policy really is showing vulnerabilities for president obama at this point, even what we're seeing today.

>> thank you very much for coming to talk to us about it. >> it's my pleasure. the last debate between mitt romney and president obama happens tomorrow, i think we have told you that but it's always worth repeating, you can watch that showdown live, it will begin at 7:00 p.m. eastern time. it was a massive heist, thieves stole art that was mowa millions.

. as art heists go, it was pretty brazen. paintings by matisse and picasso, they're all gone. some say they're worth over 100 million. it shows the thieves letting themselves into the museum. i spoke with chris maranello, he is the executive director at the art loss register, he is a stolen art hunter himself. >> well, this was a very well

planned theft. the museum had advertised this exhibit for quite some time so apparently word got out to the thieves that these valuable paintings would be on display. >> i think the question that came out of most of our mouths when we heard about this huge theft was how in the world would somebody think that they could sell these pieces of work? they are world famous and clearly tracked by art connoisseurs. so how do you sell something like this? >> that's exactly the truth. the thieves don't think about what they're going to do after they steal them. a lot of times they think they're going to quickly cash out. but they realize that organizations like our organization and interpol will be spreading the word that these are stolen and no one will buy them, no auction house, no respectable dealer, no collector is going to touch them. >> and you say you didn't think they realized that, but is it possible they had a client already lined up? >> i know the hollywood theory

of a mysterious collector ordering art thefts around the world, for his own private enjoyment, but i have never run into that particular individual, i think it's a hollywood creation. >> all right, so there isn't a sort of carey grant sort of plot here. now the thieves have the art work, they find out it's red hot, too hot to sell, what do they do? >> once they find out its too hot to handle, they'll contact me or a museum, they'll ask for a ransom. they'll hope that an insurance company comes forward, and they'll ask for a ransom from the insurance companies, they'll ask for weapons, drugs among thieves or even use the paintings as a get out of jail free card, if a thief thinks one

day he may be captured, he'll use the paintings to bargain for a lower sentence. >> they will pay a small finders fee to somebody who has no connection to the theft whatsoever. and my role is usually to negotiate these types of things. in fact i'm here in paris now negotiating over a theft that took place over 40 years ago. >> you have a fas nitting job. >> i wonder how will these works of address then show up? will the public ever get to see them again? do you think they will somehow materialize and if they do, what's the likely scenario? >> i am hopeful that they will turn up in the next few weeks. but if they don't come out in the next few weeks, they could go under ground for decades. >> and could it be that somebody tosses them out? could it be that they're going to appear on ebay?

anything like that? >> well, if they appear anywhere in the marketplace, whether it's on ebay or an art sale anywhere in the world, our organization will find them and we will notify authorities. but there is that chance that the thief will feel the heat is on and may destroy them. we have run into situations like that before, right here in paris where a thief, when the law enforcement was getting close, they threw the valuable paintings into the senne. >> moving on, what can america do to reduce its dependence on foreign oil. . >> trains, planes and automobiles burn more than 13 barrels of oil every day in the united states. and we spend over a billion dollars per day buying that oil, almost half of which comes from foreign countries, some of whom are considered national security problems.

>> weaning ourselves off oil saves about $4 trillion net present value in the united states. that money then stays at home. >> so what have we wasted less fuel getting gas to the wheels. and he designed the hyper car. which could weigh about 2/3 less than a normal car and could run up to an astonishing 240 miles an hour. >> well, you can learn more about this car and the other innovations on the show "global lessons," the road map for a powerf powerful millennium. >> politicians, actors, writers, all were grilled at the leadership of senator joe mccarthy's committee. we'll talk to robert osborne about that witch hunt and how it

impacted politics.

friday was not a good dey, the dow sank 205 points. we want to talk to the managing principal at talk bay group. how much did friday really put people on edge tomorrow. >> it's on earnings right now, and it wasn't just a backwards looking number, it's that forward guidance, what companies do when they releasary earnings report, they give us a reported card of how they have done over the last few months, but what we want to hear that optimistic tone. and if the tone is quite pessimistic, which is what it was on friday, markets will get scared and they'll sell off. so a lot of eyes will be looking

at these earnings reports coming out next week. >> and one of those is looking at yahoo, which is going to be the first report since they have had their new ceo. >> melissa mayer is coming off her 11-day maternity leave and she's going to report her first full quarter at yahoo. all analysts want to know what is the growth plan going to be for yahoo. is it going to be a hyper growth company, which it probably still is and that actually could dictate what earnings still are for the rest of the week. we have facebook, we have apple as well as amazon. if we do, that shifts as a turp for a nice week on wall street. >> you mentioned facebook, are they going to be able to dig themselves out of the kind of hole they're in. >> we all want to know this, because you look at facebook, they have lost half of their

value since they went public. what are they going to do about these mobile phones r they going to be able to mon advertise the ads they placed on these phones? right now, i got to tell you, martin, we just don't see it. if you want to see the numbers, you've got to have the revenue growth. it's lost quite a bit of value, not just since it went public, so this coming week should be a telltale sign hof how it's going to finish off the rest of the year. >> and apple -- the iphone 5, they're expected to net $48 billion just off of iphone 5 sales from now until the end of next year. so we want to hear how is the growth plan. because remember they have a new ipad minithat's rolling out. it's going to compete with amazon's kindle. we want to know some growth rates, we want to know about production concerns, we want to know with the iphone 5, are they

going to experience the same thing with this iphone mini. the earnings nubs should be nice and i think we can expect a bullish number from them. but moving forward, we want to know, have they worked out their manufacturing problems that they had before with the iphone 5, and that will be another one of those proxies for a growing stock market over the next few weeks. >> todd shownberger where t. were you now or have you ever been a member of the communist party? those were infamous words and it was of course a question that was asked dozens of times on capitol hill during the house of un-american activities hearing that started 65 years ago today. the goal was of course to search out and remove any -- as america slid into the cold war. joining us now with insight and

a look back at turner classic movies host and film historian robert osborne. who started the hearings and why? >> well, it all start in washington, d.c. and there's been rumblings about communist as far back as 1941 when walt disney had a strike and they accused it of being communist driven. and they never really acted on it until '47 when they actually started having hearings on it and it was instigated by washington, d.c. and a lot of senators trying to get their names in the newspapers and they always knew that hollywood was a great place. we got film stars involved to get newspaper space. people like humphrey bogart, danny kay, the washington to get

them to not have hearings. like hollywood is being unfairly targeted. it went on again, and it just became the circus in washington, d.c. and every newspaper and it got everybody terrified by the communists and everything going on. we didn't have the nazis to worry about anymore so now it was communists. there's never been any proof that someone aligned with the communist thinking were going to make scripts that would make people go out and burn the american flag or anything. but what it did was destroy so many american lives. >> whose careers do you think were the most damaged by these hearings? >> the famous hollywood 10 because many of them were put in jail for a year, the one that kind of left jail early, the director who did name names

because of it and was allowed to work again and after that worked steadily making films from rain tree county to the young lions and had a great career in hollywood. there was also a famous paper that came out called red channels that came out in 1950 which just kind of hinted at people who may have had some communist leanings. one of those on that list was lee grant who just had an academy award nomination and she did nothing but appear and give a eulogy for an actor that was listed as a communist and he died from the interest of not being able to get work. just because lou grant gave the eulogy, she wasn't rabl to work for several years. i was told by a friend of mine

who had just done a project at paramount in the 1950s, she was warned about actually stopping to talk at the table in the commissary where she was under contract to anybody who was on that red channel's list, because it could actually put her on the list the next time it came out. >> what's the lesson today from all of this? >> what is the legacy? >> the legacy is just that -- again, it's just that people run in packs like coyote spreading fear and things like that and you have to be careful of all of that, you have to also be careful of anyone who's going to use your industry or whatever you're working for as a scapegoat to get publicity and to enrich themselves and their political leanings. it's just that you have to be so careful about rumors and about fear and things like that. again, there was a movie called

tender comrade and simply because of the title and two of the people who were being accused of being a communist had something to do with the direction and the script of it, that whole film was held up during these hearings as these terrible nazi propagandas and it's nothing but this chairmanning story about a girl and her husband who went overseas during the war and the comrade brought the end to that. >> i would love to talk more, but time gets away from us. >> great things to remember. thank you for remembering this. >> it is indeed and we thank you and we also thank the classics channel for putting all this together. well, how do you get more voters to actually vote? seems like a simple question, how about this for an answer. a medical marijuana dispensary in one california town's accused

of lewering voters with pot. on hotels, flights & cars? you still have it. i'll always have it. so this is it? we'll see where the waves take me. sayonara, brah!

at meineke i have options... like oil changes starting at $19.95. my money. my choice. my meineke.

some believe it is the reason why hundreds offense vetters came out last saturday because the flyer as you see there, suggests that you will receive free medical marijuana if you provide prove of your vote. >> i do know the city well. this is where i was born and raised and the flyer that started being circulated, is what's causing a lot of

controversy. the flyer we just showed there, offering $40 of medical marijuana for those who show proof that they voted. you see a list of names there, there's a slate that this flyer claims is -- you cannot induce citizens to vote for a particular candidate without monitor i monitoring -- she has prove that 300 people voted just because of this flyer and that's a huge number when you look at it because last year in this election, 90 people voted, this time ten times that many, about 800 people. if you take a look at that flyer, nelson grande is the president of that slate that was running and was listed on this flyer. he says he had nothing to do with it whatsoever, but when i spoke to him earlier, he completely distanced himself from it.

>> i had no knowledge of the flyer and speaking with. >> it's worth noting that only two members ran successfully. i'm wondering, do we know who is behind this? >> that's a big question, michael, nelson went a step further and said that opponents -- it would align with the mud slinging that lasted throughout the entire election. charlotte smith and her husband that we talked to, says it came from a pot dispensary in the rampart division. >> i was going to ask you about that, what is the debate? >> the stake holders are called

starbucks stake hordes. essentially you martin could have gone to my tone and take -- they would have allowed you to vote. that's interesting to a bigger aspect because eagle rock has become ground zero for these pot dispensarie dispensaries. a lot of them are finding home in eagle rock. there's 15 in about a mile and a half radius and this town's not that big. about 30,000 people. well, we're going get you ready for tomorrow night's debate. one of the critical issues that candidates need to hit home, with voters, that is.

i think it would be pretty tough to overstate the importance of tomorrow night's debate. there's just 16 days to go until the election.

president obama, mitt romney, they spent the day today prepping for tomorrow's debate. on television today, everywhere you looked, obama, romney, the debate, the election, they were all the talk of the sunday news programs. >> there were a whole bunch of oil companies. >> i had a question and the question was how much did you cut them by. >> what are the stakes in this final debate, with serious conversation about differences in foreign policy? >> i think it's going to be an important debate. i don't think any one event is decisive. but rebuilding our economy is a number one issue. people want to know that they have a strong, steady hand in the oval office, they don't want someone who's reckless and been consistently wrong as governor romney has. >> i think part of it is that the president who created this false image in the minds of some voters, that were completely knocked down in that debate. i think now what's becoming apparent in that debate is that

the president has no plan for the next four years. tomorrow is his last chance to tell us what he's going to do in the next four years. >> senators, let's start with s news. a report in today's "new york times" that iran and the u.s. have agreed in principle to one-on-one talks about iran's nuclear program. the white house said late last night that they have not agreed to talks. >> i in the iranians are trying to take advantage of our election cycle to continue to talk. as we talk with the iranians, whether it's bilaterally or unilaterally, they continue tone rich. i think the time for talking is over. >> if direct negotiations are a path toward a peaceful resolution with iran giving up on the notion of nuclear weapon, pursue it. if meeting collectively is better, pursue it as well. we don't want to drive into the brick wall of war in 2013 without sitting down and speaking. >> the obama administration

failed to protect the consulate, failed to respond to requests, rejected demands they would help. the a.mbassador was personally worried about his own life, about violence, and the obama administration did nothing. if that offends the. >> the that's his problem and he ought to get over it. >> when the president found out about what happened in benghazi, the next day, he called it an act of terror, twice, in washington and in nevada. he ordered an investigation. he increased embassy security. he said he was going to bring those individuals responsible to justice. >> just to whet your appetite there. the last debate between mitt romney and president obama will happen tomorrow, and you can watch that show live right here on cnn at 7:00 p.m. eastern time. two years ago, the people of bp made a commitment to the gulf.

bp has paid over twenty-three billion dollars to help those affected and to cover cleanup costs. today, the beaches and gulf are open, and many areas are reporting their best tourism seasons in years. and bp's also committed to america. we support nearly 250,000 jobs and invest more here than anywhere else. we're working to fuel america for generations to come. our commitment has never been stronger. customer erin swenson bought so, i'm happy. today. sales go up... i'm happy. it went out today... i'm happy. what if she's not home?

(together) happy. i love logistics.

"cnn news room" with don lemon is coming up in a few minutes. >> i'm mesmerized, transfixed. i came up to watch a pro at work, that's what happened. >> okay, moving on. martin, it's been a very bad week, very bad couple of weeks for lance armstrong. he's been stripped of his tours day france titles, accused of

the most sophisticated doping operation that sport has ever seen, steps down the head of the cancer foundation he has been in charge with. big-money donors are asking for their money back, listen. >> and he completed and cheated beyond many people's ba leaelie imagination for the results in the tours de france, so the whole thing is built on a lay. and that's wrong. >> during that interview, the vice president of livestrong called in and wanted to respond, and she's going to tell you if they're considering giving the money back at all. plus we're going to be talking about what happened in wisconsin, that shooting we are finding out now, martin, that three of those victims are believed to have died and our affiliate is reporting that the gunman has now been found and the gunman, they believe the gunman has died. we'll be reporting that at the top of the hour.

it may are made people around the world stay up all night and stare at the sky. we have the best photos of the new meteor shower. if we want to improve our schools... ... what should we invest in? maybe new buildings? what about updated equipment? they can help, but recent research shows... ... nothing transforms schools like investing in advanced teacher education. let's build a strong foundation. let's invest in our teachers so they can inspire our students. let's solve this. why they have a raise your rate cd. tonight our guest, thomas sargent. nobel laureate in economics, and one of the most cited economists in the world. professor sargent, can you tell me what cd rates will be in two years? no.

all over the world, people stayed up late hoping to see them and by gash, some did get lucky. we're talking about a meteor shower that took place very early this morning.

>> let's get to the pictures. they're pretty amazing. all the other news stories in the world, people stopped to spend hours staring at the sky. this is an i-report out of wiltshire in the united kingdom. time lapse photos show you meteors flying at 150,000 miles per hour burning up as the earth's atmosphere goes through. derek robinson had this photo on the nasa flickr site. a great i-report from kevin ewe business, you can see some of these streaks there. let's go through a few more of these. this shows from the point of view of space what it looks like to see one of these just cross by. let's back through the rest of the pictures. we've got all these pictures and a lot more up at my facebook and twitter pages, joshlevscnn. if you have photos, share them at cnnireport. >> getth
